We offer a broad range of experiences to the children in order to stimulate their interest, facilitate meaningful communication and promote purposeful, interactive play. Learning through play is an important part of our Early Years classrooms. We believe children learn best from activities and experiences that interest and inspire them.

Using children’s interests as a starting point, we provide children with stimulating, active play experiences so they can explore and develop their learning to help them make sense of the world.

They are able to practise skills, build upon and revisit prior learning and experience at their own level and pace. The outdoor area is an important part of the classroom with many children choosing to learn outside for much of the day. We try to ensure that the range of resources outside reflects the different skills that can be developed. In Nursery, physical activity often dominates, with climbing, running, cycling and other active games being key.
